Default Who is still waiting for their Umnitza CF intake?

Hey guys.. I just recieved an email from umnitza saying that the intake will not arrive until 9/22.... I am just a little annoyed becuase they keep pushing back the dates and they told me last week that it would be here today.. I am just wondering how many of you out there are waiting for the intake just like me and how long have you waited since the day of purchase? I payed for mine on the 13th of august which is like more than 1 month now.. sigh...

Waiting for mine as well. But Umnitza Customer Service has been top-notch every step of the way.

I don't mind waiting, as long as I know that it's coming, and they've done everything possible to make this sale as painless as possible for me.

The intakes are on a boat, and as such will take a while and will be more susceptible to delays. I'm just glad that they are keeping in touch and giving us updates, other vendors are usually not as considerate.

I am also happy that umnitza's customer service is really good and that they reply to emails super fast! hahaha.. I guess I just really want the intake asap.. >< Btw Schuller can you tell me if you had any problems with the intake and give a little opinion after using it?

I completely agree with you TRD_SSM ... I can't freaking wait to get mine lol

and yes, please Schuller, let us live vicariously through you while we wait patiently for our intakes.

What I want to know is.... does it sound as mean in person as it does in the video clip?

Man, I agree... I have never seen an online vendor reply as quickly as they do to their clients. Umnitza is tops in my book as far as Customer Care goes.

Heres some comments for you. Cool deep rumble but gets very load around 5000rpm WOT. Video clip is acurate. You can drive at any speed without any noise if needed. Covers up the raspy stock muffler with my header. Looks great but now your going to want a carbon fiber engine cover. looks like you might be able to integrate it into a turbo. Installs in minutes. Makes the car a little more responsive. You can feel it pull harder WOT between 4000-6000rpm. May loose a little at lower rpms. But I have a 5speed so thats not a problem for me. Soon I'll have intake - header - spipe - exhaust and this will make a very noticable difference between 3000-6000RPM, where I spend most of my time

Guys, we're really sorry.
The MFG pushed back the timeline and didn't ship for 1.5 weeks.
So instead of September 9th, they are 22nd as the arrival date, we are really really sorry about that.

On the positive front? Those of you that ordered saved $90+
MSRP is fixed now
